For those curious it seems to be available in Canada so hopefully that means other countries are coming.

Been going back and forth... and well back and forth on whether to order this. 

 

I bought the Varese 2CD club release the day it came out and do play the score regularly in fact I sat down last night with the samples from the site and the 2nd CD from the Varese set and played the pieces back to back to see what the deal was with the remastering of the 2nd disc. Um... I hope it's just because the samples are compressed but I didn't hear a huge jump between the two, yes it's defiantly been mixed and EQ'd a little hotter and a bit brighter but really not enough for me to say Oh wow the Varese disc is a frisbee now! 

 

Maybe someone with the real disc in the next little bit can comfirm that it really is just because the la la land site and maybe get us a sample that doesn't sound like it was compressed in a tin can?

 

Either way great release La La Land there are a lot of people who didn't have this that I hope are going to add it to their favorites list after hearing what you've done! 

The other reason might be both sets will already contain all this material. Or most of it.

Shame about the interview, though.

The two sets do actually have all the music from the suite... and I'm wondering if the piano version of the theme on one of the discs in Vol 2 isn't actually the full version played in the track with Shirley Walker that is being omitted from the repress of Vol 1

MV, over at the fsm forum, has shed a little light onto the future of La La Land and Warner Animation releases going forward

While working on Vol 2 a number of episodes of the first "65" got the axe and will be featured on Vol 3: Robin's Reckoning Parts 1 and 2, Day of the Samurai and The Clock King to name a few.

Our plan is to have Vol 3 out next year (possibly another 4 disc set). That would be all the music we would release from the first 65. We are also contemplating releasing an empty box when vol 3 comes out so people can put all 3 volumes inside. It would be like $5 (or around there) if people wanted to buy it separately or free with purchase of Vol 3...something like that.

Then we would focus on the "Adventures of Batman and Robin" and "The New Batman Adventures."

Hopefully, Superman TAS, Justice League (TAS and Unlimited) and the two BTAS animated direct to DVD movies (Subzero and Batwoman) will also see the light of day in the next few years.

This is some of the finest music written for television. It's been a joy and honor to bring these out and we hope to continue to mine this incredible slate of superhero music.

We are also looking into stuff like Animaniacs and Tiny Toons. The ealry 90's was truly the 2nd Golden Age of Animation at Warners Bros. We are doing our part to preserve that legacy.

32 of the 65 "first season" episodes isn't too shabby! One can hope that someday the others will show up but really who's complaining! This is still great news!

For anyone interested in seeing what BTAS episodes are on these sets and what still remains un-released I've started a spreadsheet. here
If I get the time I may indicate episodes that are represented in the "Gotham City Overture" so folks can see just how much of it is really represented in the new music released anyway.
I've gone through and added where each theme appears on the releases from "Gotham City Overture" as it turns out people should chill about it not being on Vol 1 Second Edition as it's represented on the 6 discs anyway!
